Exim is Debians default MTA and works. If you use autodialing you
might want to keep it from making lots of DNS-lookups (host_lookup)
and tell it to don't try immidiate delivery (queue_only*). Exim is
documented _very_ nicely in /usr/share/doc/exim.
OTOH if you have some knowledge of postfix I cannot see why you should
learn how to configure another MTA and switch to exim. Debian
provides it as package and won't try to force you to switch to exim.
